Cohen, AdaTHE ALEXANDER MOSAIC Stories of Victory and DefeatCambridge University Press 2000 0521775434 / 9780521775434 Softcover Very Good+ Spine a little discolored. Very light shelfwear. ; Cambridge Studies in Classical Art and Iconography; 302 pages; The Alexander Mosaic: Stories of Victory and Defeat focuses on one of the richest, most complex and visually stunning monuments of classical antiquity. Contributing to a vast tradition of scholarship, which dates back to the discovery of the Mosaic in 1831, Cohen here engages with, but departs from, a core of positivist assumptions that characterize this body of literature. In this study, she examines the Mosaic as it may have functioned in two different contexts, first as a Greek painting of the fourth century B.C., and then as a Roman mosaic of ca. 100 B.C. Price:
